BenRiach Authenticus 21 yo

The 'big brother' to Curiositas, BenRiach 'Authenticus' is another peated expression of BenRiach, this time matured for a minimum of 21 years. A peat lover's dream dram!

From the Peated BenRiach Range- Curiositas, Birnie Moss, and Authenticas use a heavily peated malted barley as the cereal varietal to produce a unique, fresh, peated expression.

Smooth single malt with an elegant full body and aromas that perfectly capture the fruity and floral oak-wood notes with captivating resonance.

Strictly limited to just 800 six-packs per annum, Authenticus is a rare and much sought after bottling. Bottled at 46% alc. vol., at natural color and non chill filtered.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: An explosion of smoke and peat, in combination with teasing hints of honey, apples and spices.

COLOR: Rich golden.

PALATE: Rich peat, in perfect harmony with honey, chocolate, raisins and oak wood, followed by a cascade of spices rolling over the palate.
